Re: New vidcontrol moused error messages

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I think we should make one minor change to the code, and that is to
    deal with the case where the system boots up on a serial console.
    The vidcontrol line should probably be:

	vidcontrol ${_mousechar_arg} -m on < /dev/ttyv0

    If you test that out and make sure it still works as advertised, I'll
    commit it.

:Walt,
:
:could you install the attached patch (note: it's a patch to 
:/usr/src/etc/rc.d/moused so you have to install this file to /etc/rc.d 
:after patching) and tell me if your mouse is behaving normally on _all_ 
:virtual terminals after rebooting?
:
:The reason for the 11 messages is that /etc/rc.d/moused calls 
:'vidcontrol -m' for each virtual terminal it finds in /etc/ttys. This 
:works once (for the first terminal) and fails for the rest of the 12 
:terminals (syscons returns EINVAL if the SC_MOUSE_ENABLED flag is 
:already set). With the old vidcontrol we didn't have an error message 
:there so the bug went unnoticed.
:
:The solution seems to be to call 'vidcontrol -m' only once in 
:/etc/rc.d/moused. This enables the mouse on all virtual terminals here.
:
:..and it saves a little time during booting...:)
